His stay in our State is limited. The time in which to advertise his nrst ap pointments, is so short, that the breth- i ren who receive this, are urged to use j every means to let it be known to the brotherhood throughout their . respec- tive counties It is important that every officer of the subordinate and county Alliances, especially, should meet him, and that every member who can possibly do so, should be present. Bro. Tracy is system of our, order and all its princi ples and purposes. He was among those who organized the order and his active and zealous service in its ranks, has given him peculiar advantages as a lecturer. Be sore to meet him and hear him, you will not regret it.

It will pay you to take a day from your farm work to go to hear him. By order of the Ex. Committee, L. L. Polk, Sec'y State Alliance. Raleigh, N C, May 31, 1889. An Old Farmer's Advice. This is advice of an old man who tilled the soil for forty years : I am an old man upwards of three score years, during two score of which I have been . a tiller of the soil . I cannot say that I am now, but I have been rich and have all that I need, do not ewe a dollar, have eiven mv children a good education and when T am called away will leave enough to keed the wolf from the door. My ex perience taught me that.- One acre of land well prepared and well cultivated, produced more than two which received only the 6ame amount used on one. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or hog well ftfd is more profitable than two kept on the same amount neces sary to keep one well. One acre of clover or grass is worth two of cotton where no clover is ras ed. No farmer who buys oats, corn wheat fodder and hay, as a rule, for ten years, can keep the sheriff away from his door in the end. The farmer who never reads the papers, sneers at book farming and improvements, always has a leaky roof,' poor stock, broken down fences, and complains of bad seasons. The farmer who is above his busi ness and entrusts it to another to manage, soon has no business to at tend to. York Enterprise. Fanning as a Business. 'Probably no occupation is carried on with bo little regard to business rules as that of farming. The farmer requires more education and a know ledge of a greater variety of subjects than any of the so-called learned pro fessions. The man who knows only haw to turn a good furrow, prepare the soil for the seed, stop the growth of weeds and promote the growth of the plant, has not mastered the art of successful farming. Nor has the man who knows only how to raise fine horses, sleek cattle or fat swine, or bow to fertilize bis fields to the best advantage, raise the best corn or potatoes or the highest yield of oats or barley. The man who to-day really makes a thorough success as a farmer must combine all these ele ments of knowledge and many more. It used to be said that any fool could be a farmer, but at the present day people begin to realize the fact that the farmer needs the most educa tion. The time has gone by when the haphazard, slipshod, go-as-you-please methods of farming can be made to pay. What would be thought of the manufacturer who did not know to the fraction of a cent the cost of the raw material and labor put into a yard of cloth, or the manufacturer of leather who did not know the ex act cost of the material and labor re quired to make a case of boots and shoes. And yet how many farmers can tell the cost of a pound of butter or pork, a bushel of potatoes or corn or a ton of hay '? Then sell their products for what they can get offered not knowing whether they are making or losing. The remedy is this : When farm ers come to realize that farming is a business as much as manufacturing or banking or bnymg and selling good and by a careful keeping of accounts learn to figure the cost of every artic they produce, then a successful be- ginning will have been made. Let thcm , debt and , . , - - acre of corn, potatoes.or grain.. Charge each acre with the interest onlts value, the probable amount of fertlizing material used by the crop, the cost of , , . J -4. ti oor in its care. Credit it with the market value of the crop produced. The difference between the two wiU represent the profit or loss. 4 i-i l u u 1 A llke account should be kept with the herd of cows. If j any one of the number entails a loss upon you dispose of her. Keep a strict account with the orchard, if you have one. Debit it with the labor employed in its care and in the harvesting of its fruit. Credit it with the value of its golden product and learn from the balance on the right side of the leger that it is one of your best friends. The farmer's book is one of reference, to which he can at any time refer for date or article i b0US or sold' and P"f Sive? or re: : ceived for the same. Having learned t0 calculate the cost of the products of ! the farm. the neit business is to know ! how to 8el1 tbem- Make a etudy of j markets and learn for yourselves the j Prics of those thinS8 yu w,sh t0 sell." The above is taken from a Northern paper and shows that Southern far mers are not the only ones who con duct business in a careless unmetho dical manner. But no matter to whom the words were addressed, they are eminently true, and canuot be impressed on the farmer's mind too often. To be successful we must adopt better buainess methods. Hector's Successor at the White House. e Hector, the dog that was recognized as part of the household at the Execu-. tive Mansion when Mrs. Cleveland ruled there, has a successor in office. This dog belongs to President Harri son, and his name is Dash. Dash is a spanial, full of life and pugnacity. Half of his body is shaved or closely cropped, leaving his head and fore quarters shaggy, so that he looks like a pocket edition of a lion. Dash is not only pugnacious but plucky. While I was at the White House to day two big cur dogs, plebeian in ap pearance, strayed from the street into the enclosure about the Mansion. Dash resented this intrusion, and though overmatched in size by either of the j strange dogs, charged down upon them with a snarl and barK ot tury. w netn er the dogs were startled by the strange appearance of Dash, with his body half cropped, or really dreaded a personal encounter with the fierce little spaniel, only those familiar with cauine emo tions can tell. The fact is that they, turned tails and loped out of the grounds. Dash returned to the White House porch with the air of a victor, and wagged, his tail in a contented, self-satisfied vtzy.PMl, Tfhyraph. a IMUUDLfr l'LUUU. A IlllflUl II U 1 mm I TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE DUOrYNF.&t AT JOHNSTOWN PENNSYLVANIA. Great Loss of Life and Property I Maryland Virginia and West Virginia. ie. Pittsburg, Pa., May 31. A tehf graph operator in the Pennsylvania Railroad sigal tower at Sang Hollow 12 miles below J ohnstown, says thai about 75 dead bodies have floated past him down the river from Joha- stown. It is stated that the reservow above Johnstown broke about 5 p. ni. and the water deluged the town; sweeping away houses by scores and! drowning probably two hundred peb pie. Wires are down and no conu municatiou can be had with John? stown to-night. No trains are run-i ning east of Blansvillc, 25 miles west of Johnstown, and tbeie will be no trains to east befoie tomorrow MORK THAN TWO HUNDRED. Pennsylvania railroad officials in Pittsburg state that they have ad vices that over two hundred dead bodies have been counted floating down stream at Johnstown alone, while all along the line many ad- dional lives have been lost. John- stown is described as wholly sub merged, only two houses being en tirely above the water. OTHER POINTS. A fierce gale raged over the lakes Krie and Ontario driving vessels ashore and doing much damage. Snow fell to the depth of six inches in Michigan. In Indiana the rainfall is reported as the heaviest in many years in some places snow fell to the depth of 4 inches. A tornado struck a point of West Virginia and after demolishing a vas amount of property, it passed down the Potomac river, uprooting trees, overturning small vessels, and playing havoc generally with small buildings near the banks of the stream. The storm travelled over an area of ten i and buy the jars by the case and give ; f be original thirteen States, had miles, and then passed out to sea: ' them out to their wives and then take ' gonc wholly unrepresented at New Very few trees were left standing time to aid her in gathering the fruit, i York, while the Governor and chief along the water front.

Yet by what right A terrific storm passed over the Potomac river district of Washing ton county yesterday afternoon. It seemed to follow the course of the river, leaving destruction in its tracks, blowing down buildings, trees, and fences, and ruiniug growing ewips. In Virginia the James river is re ported as being higher than it has been since 1871. Many of the fac tories and machine shops on the river ; are nooaea ureat aamage to growing crup ,S the result of the storm through its Patu- : u. Seven bodies have been found on the shore near this town, two. a man and women being in a tree, where the tide had earned them. The country people are coming into the news centers in large numbers, toll - ing stories of disaster along the river banks in secluded places. John McCartney, a carpenter who lives in Johnstown, reached here about 4 o'clock. He left Johnstown at half-past four yesterday, and says the scene when he left was indescriba- Kin TUB I'KOI'LK HAD BKKN WARNKD, early in the morning to move to the highlands, but they did not head the warning, although it was repeated a number of times up to 1 o'clock, when the water poured into Cinder street several feet deep. Then the houses began rocking to and fro. Finally, the force of the current car ried buildings across streets and vacant lots, and dashed them against each other, breaking them into fragments. These buildings were FREIGHTED WITH THE POOR WRETCHES, who so shortly before laughed at the cry of danger. McCartney says that in some cases he counted as high . as 15 people clinging to buildings. McCartney's wife was with him She had three sisters who lived near her. They saw the house in which the girls lived carried away, and they hurried away. The husband feared his wife would go crazy before he could drag her away, and they left the doomed dis trict and went inland along the country until they.reachcd here. It is said to be next to impossible to get to Johnstown proper to-day in any manner, except by row boats. The roads are out up, so that even tho oountrymen refuse to travol over them in their roughest vehicles. The only hope is to get within about three miles of Johnstown by special train, or by hand car. This will be done by the Assistant Press Agent within the next hour. The waters are now receding here as rapidly as they rose last night, and as the banks uncover the DEAD BODIES HAVE BKKN SHOWING CP. Already 9 dead bedies have been picked up within the limits of this borough since daylight. None of them have as yet been recognized. Five of those found are women. One lady probably 35 years old and rather handsome, had clasped in her arms a babe aboot 6 months old. The dead body of a young woman was discover ed in the branches of a huge tree which had bcon carried down the stream. All the orchard grass and shrub bery along the banks of the river have been destroyed.

Grant. A telegram to the Charlotte Chronicle says: feeveral days ago, a colored woman named Frances Barnard, from Char- i l xr n ni j ;-,x- . ., uc" ; clared that he was Ford Knox, a note- j nous murderer and a villain of North the woman said she had known hi for years, he denied ever hav.ng s.-en : hen Another witness, lhos. )wycr of : ronsmouin, nui. ionneriy 01 lsanaie- ! burg, N. ('., saw Coleman on the i scaffold, and positively identified him as Ford Knox, the murderer of Wil- j ham Dutant, near Pineville, N. C, several years ago. Mr. Dwyer said he was with a party who were out hunting Knox for anothercrime, and j that it was then that Mr. Purant was ! killed. Coleman told Father Brady that his name was Matthew Berncy, from A vera, Ga., and denied being Ford Knox. How to Measure Socks. A youug man stepped up to the counter of one of our furnishing stores the oth ... . , r . ". P temporary, and called for a pair of , , . tj ... ., socks. "Be sure that you get them , , ,, . i , p , large enough, said he, "for when ,, . ., , . they are too small they always wear w, k .vt ,, replied the polite clerk, "I'll get them right; will you please hold rut "your hand?" "I said socks, not gloves," answered the young man. somewhat surprised. "I know what you said," continued the clerk, "but I want to see your hand." The customer held out his hand aud doubled up his fist as directed. The clerk took one of the socks from the box, wrapped the foot around the fist and guaranteed a perfect fit. "I am just as sure it will fit you as though I measured your foot," said the clerk, "as the distance around the fist is always the length of the foot. A salesman who knows his business always looks at a man's hand and in that way knows the size of the sock he wants. Don't Scold. For the sake of your children, don't scold It is a great misfortune to have children reared in the presence aud Tinder the influence of scold. The ef fect of the everlasting complaining and fault finding of such persons is to make the young who hear it unamia- ble, malicious aud callous hearted, and they often learn to take pleasure in doing the very thing for which they receive tongue lashings. As they are always getting the blame of wrong doing, whether they do it or not, they think they might as well do wrong as right: They lose all ambition to strive for the favorite opinion of a fault finder, since they see they always strive in vain. Thus a scold is not only a . , r i a nuisance, but a destroyer of trie morals of children. - Worth Knowing". HUGHES' TONIC The old time, reliable remedy for Fever and Ague, .

Every one of me oia tnirteen states Lad troops in the procession save North Carolina Even Florida, twice the distance away and ever so many times poorer, had 200 men in line. ! The fault lies at the door of our Legislature. It is an open seoret that Gov. Fowle requested the Legislature to appropriate ihe very moderate sum i of ftl.OOU for this purpose The bill was drawn and introduced, and some opposition being developed in the dis- cussion, the sum asked tor was reduc- e(l to 00, and when the time to vote arrived the bill was tabled. would make up the balance, which he i a'd out of his own pocket It would have been a very humiliat ing thing to every North Carolinian iu whose breast is found any sentiment of State Pride if ovti Carolina, one could the Mate call on Us Governor, "summary companies ana us private citizens to abandon their business and go to New York and represent her aud themselves pay for the privilege of doing soV Had they all remained at home no one could have complained against them, for no provision had been made for their going; yet had no one gonc ana tht space assigned to North Carolina been vacant while that of every otlor State was filled, the i blush of shame -would have mantled the cheek of every North Carolinian whQ ig worth fJthe name : llTh faulJlies at the door of our - o ,ioo,.:r.(:.,. :i..a .i Tjejsatnre appropriated ftl',000 or ,)() tQ he Jef nses of r at New Yoik, every cross-roads would have heard in the next campaign the charge of extravagance, "wasting the people's money, appropriating money wrung from the toiling tax-payers to spend in show," and all such balderdash as tliat. It would have begun before the campaign and would not have been confined to either party, but the vote of any member in favor of it would have beeaused by some aspiring party associate to defeat the re-nomination of the "extravagant" legislator.

To such a pass have we come. It is a system of politics which debases the people. Its tendency is to make them mean and sordid. It stifles State pride and causes them to regard the government which protects them in their lives and property not as a be neficence but as a yoke. Year by year this spirit is growing until by and by it will come to this that the politician who can prove himself the most niggardly among his associates ! will be the popular favoiitc. ! The cure for this increasing evil ? j That is not so (jasy to suggest. It is i easier and alas ! more profitable to i nandcr to a crovelintr spirit than to elevate it. And yet it is not certain ti,at there is not breadth enough in North Carolinians to justify the cour- agcous spirit who is yet to come upon the stage and point out to the people that that is not the highest statesman ship which asks concerning everything proposed, Does it come cheap? of every public servant. Will not some- j body else take the job for less money? or of every dollar spent for other than strictly utilitarian purposes, Do you reckon we will ever get it back ? . Has Not Failed. Mr. Wm.
